Spark Innovations offers 6 free units on Space and Beyond. These were created by Spark Staff and have been used all over. They are hands on and fun and already aligned to K-12 standards and skills. Access them below at the link. We have highlighted two of them here:
The Moon has fascinated people throughout history and while most of us may never touch its surface with our own two hands that doesn't mean we can't understand what the ever-changing bright silvery disk is really doing in the darkness beyond our atmosphere. This lesson provides students the opportunity to recreate the lunar surface and bombard it with asteroids, to experience a taste of space and feel a fraction of what astronauts go through, peel back the layers and see beneath the surface, recreate craters, learn about orbits and why we can't see the dark side of the moon, determine what life might be like without the moon in our sky, practice the phases with the Oreo Moon, and determine the veracity of legends about lunar luck.
